    Stingray you can do bike tours but also easy just to rent a bike and do yourself. Some hotels have bikes you can use for free and will tell you where to go if you ask. Thats what I did.

    They can do it in 3 days. Its just a bit tighter. Sometimes you have to go back and forth for fittings. Youll get your clothes in 3 days. It might just eat into your leisure time.

    Id advise doing research beforehand so you know which tailor youre going to and what you want. To save time once you get there. There are so many options its ridiculous. Can be a bit overwhelming if you arent prepared.

    Good idea with reducing the workshops. That stuff can be organised last minute on the off chance you get bored. Thougn I think you’ll be greatful for the extra free time.

    I would skip Marble mountain. Best time in Hoi An is around sunrise,,lMO. Most people are still in bed or having breakfast. Sunrise from the bridge can be good, not sure if the fishing boats with nets are still there though.

    After lunch it will be packed. And hottest part of the day.

    #6, where does the bike ride go? Is it a tour?

    OP, what do you mean by outfits fitted, are you getting them made to measure?
